Persona who are requlr- 0 ed to file returns under the provisions e' of law and who fail to get their returns in on time are subject to ?e- " vere penalties, as follows: *' For making false or fraudulent re- ' turn, not exceeding |2,000 or not exceeding one year's Imprisonment, or & both, in the discretion of the court, ?; and, in addition, 100 per cent of tfcs ^ tax evaded. ? E For tailing to make return on time, not less than $20 nor more than $1,000, and, In addition,, 50 per cent of the amount of tax due. ^ If on account of lllneM er absence ? from home you are mable to render ^ your return within th* time prescribed & by law you may obtain an extension tl of 30 days If a request therefor Is filed h with the collector of your district be- n fore the due date of the return, la n this request you must state the rea- ? son ,why the return cannot Be ftled 8 within the time prescribed by law. ? Collectors of internal revenue are n not authorized to grant extensions of more than 30 days, bat the commls- U sloner oil Internal revenue has author- a lty to |rant a reasonable extension 1e beyond 30 days in meritorious cases. " If you desire an extension of more * than 30 days your request should be * addressed to the commissioner and ^ should contain a detailed statement 0 covering the reasons which make It & impossible for you to file your return a on or before April !L * t] The in ternal revenue men are now y completing their tour of the country, * during which they were in touch with the DeoDle of every city and town. If >. you failed to get In touch with the ? deputy which visited your section It Is c not too late to get udvlce. Consult your postmaster as to where the near- & est deputy Is now. Qet your blank ? form, study the directions and the re- m qulrements as shown thereoa and 11 make your return without fall It your ? income was sufficient to come within j tke bounds named in the law. ' ^ It is pointed out b;r Commissioner tl Boper that it is important that the tl people comply with the federal laws t as fully as they are complying with r, the drafts for men and the conserv* tlon of foods and funL "The war must f be paid for," says Commissioner Roper. % "Congress has as much right to oe?> t script a Just portion of Income m N \ has to conscript our boys. Hie tax C for 1917 is designed to reach modern f ate as well as large incomes, so that h all persons who are in financial post- b tlon to bear a portion of the heavy , government expenses can be assessed Q in proportion to their ability to pay. j "The aian who is barely making a o living or barely supporting a family * is not affected by the 1817 law. But the man who is able to bear a share ' of the burden has been reached by ? the new law, and he should accept his j; responsibility In the same patriotic h spirit that: our young men have shown in offering themselves for this great t purpose of the country to make the t world safe for people of all kinds te 1 live In and to govern themselves." t This tax is one wliich recognize* ? wemen as on an equal basis with men. ' The unmarried woman or the married ( woman with a salary must make tax j return just the same as any man. Only << the woman supi>ortlng her mother ?r t other members of her family may take i out $2,000 exemption. t Under the law the head eC tke faml- i lj is the one whose earning p*wer con- s tributes to the family's support Similarly a widow -with small children to support can take out $2,000 exemption and $200 additional eremp- ! tlon for each of her children under eighteen. Thus It Is Intended that the law shall work no hardship to women having to titruggUi to get along. But each must file return if her income Is $1,000. A man whose wife dies and'who is left with small children to support upon a moderate income may also take full exemption under the new tax law and also claim $200 exemption for each of his children under eighteen. The widower under the law li a single man and must make tax return accordingly. Married men need not file returns mless they are earn- i lng $2,000 or more. "This is as much a national obllga uon as uie reporuug,j.or uulj oi <x uuu j drafted for service with the colors," says D. C. Roper, commissioner of In- . ternal revenue. "As it stands, it la ] much a matter of the man or woman's own conscience. It Is for him | or for her to determine Ju?t how far he Is liable to the tax. He moat figure' his own income and If It reaches the figures named in the law must make < faithful repart upon It to the proper [ t authority.

The problem of keeping up tie morale of the army by making hem understand that their families re well looked after while they are way aa well aa that of helping to laintain a normal standard' of living i the families where the men are way belongs to the Home Service or llvillan Relief Department "At the time of die Napoleonic ampaigns," said Mr. Persona, "It was stlmated that the morale of the army ras more Important than ammunition a the ratio of 3 to 1. In the present r&r, one of the greatest English genrals has estimated tbe ratio as 9 to . Home Service Is more important d the United States troops than to lose of England and France, because he French and English soldiers have wo weeks' leave every #0 days, can otnm to th<ilr honuM and look after heir most pressing business affairs or themselves.
